The tech industry's greatest mystery: how someone who thinks "JavaScript" is a fancy coffee order gets hired with a higher salary than you. That awkward moment when your new coworker's technical interview must have consisted of "Do you know what a computer is?" "Yes." "HIRED! Here's a six-figure salary!" Nothing quite matches the existential crisis of discovering the person making 20% more than you thinks "Docker" is just a brand of khaki pants.

Ah yes, the classic career pivot from "truck driver" to "Senior Full Stack Solutions Architect / Team Lead." Because obviously, if you can back up an 18-wheeler, you can definitely architect microservices!

At least the confidence is admirable – maybe we should hire this person to handle our production deployments. They clearly aren't afraid of crashes!
